The Star Tavern sits proudly on the cliffs of Cape Foulwind on the stunning West Coast of New Zealand. In true South Island style, she provides a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere encouraged through the wonderful temperate climate and visitors to the area. With Tauranga Bay and the Steeples on its doorstep the geography abounds with world class amenity anchored by the Seal Colony, blue penguins and Lighthouse walking track. Furthermore, the super family friendly Kawatiri Coastal Trail flows past the peaceful Star Tavern beergarden. Beginning at Westport and winding gloriously through to Charleston further South, the trail exposes magnificent beaches, headlands, wetlands, rivers and forests to the fortunate users of this world famous icon.
